Speaking before members of the United Nations Security Council on April 23, 2026, Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé called for faster and more concrete international support to address the security crisis paralyzing Haiti.
Accompanied by an official delegation, the Prime Minister addressed the Council amid ongoing violence, including clashes between rival gangs in the Cul-de-Sac plain and armed attacks against civilians in several regions.
Fils-Aimé issued a strong appeal to the international community to step up support in combating insecurity, emphasizing that restoring state authority is the top priority. “Without security, there can be neither democracy nor development,” he stated.
He also highlighted early gains achieved by national forces working alongside the Gang Repression Force (FRG), while warning that these gains remain fragile without full deployment and sufficient resources.
In a firm tone, he pointed out the gap between international commitments and concrete actions: “Haiti does not need promises, but action,” he said, urging partners to honor their commitments.
The Prime Minister further stressed the government’s determination to strengthen its own defense capabilities while respecting human rights and the rule of law.
Beyond the immediate security crisis, he reaffirmed his administration’s political goals: restoring security, organizing credible elections, and steering the country toward stability.
During his official mission to the United States, which began on April 19, 2026, Fils-Aimé held more than 15 high-level meetings with U.S. officials and multilateral agencies, with security consistently identified as the essential prerequisite for any political or economic progress.
